Our wines exemplify the terroir and climate of Michigan and her many lakes. This location was especially chosen for not only its beauty but for the soil quality, topography and for the mature cherry trees already producing our most popular local fruit.

There are 75 acres in all, actively producing fine wine grapes and cherries. We have plans to plant many more acres in the coming years here and at our sister property Crooked Creek Ranch on Lake Leelanau.

The Leelanau Peninsula AVA(formed 1982) is a Nationally and Internationally recognized American Viticultural Area. Leelanau Peninsula sits perfectly between Lake Michigan on the west and Grand Traverse Bay on the east. These surrounding waters help to stabilize the climate of the region, which is typically cold for viticulture. With 145 days per calendar year, adequate for grape growing, area vintners are a hardy bunch. The glacial deposits of clay, sand, and loam on top of bedrock of granite and limestone make the soil in Leelanau Peninsula not only complex but ideal for the varieties of grapes grown here;Chardonnay, Pinot Grigio, Riesling, Pinot Noir, Cabernet Franc and Merlot, to name a few.

​

​Each wine is estate produced , showcasing both the unique terroir of Leelanau as well as our winemakers dedication to crafting exceptional wines.
